Nation Media Group – Yesterday the media group's share price gained one shilling to close at their new 3 year high of KES 206; topping Friday’s closing high of KES 205. They have gained since mid-August from a range below 175 shilling per share to prevail at the 200 shilling range since late last month on the back of a growth in half year earnings. We will be watching to see if they top their price today.

We will watch to see if the share stabilises or drops some more.
